Abstract:
  • The survey conducted across 25 countries between October and November 2022 gathered 401 responses to assess perceptions of COVID-19 and vaccination three years into the pandemic. Results show a high vaccination rate (96%) and strong trust in vaccines (87.47%), though rumors about vaccine safety remain the main reason for non-vaccination among 4% of respondents. Economic impacts were significant, with 53.42% reporting changes such as increased unemployment and reduced income, disproportionately affecting women. Mental health concerns were notable: 44.6% felt current economic conditions impacted their mental health, and 49.49% reported effects on emotional well-being, while 43.28% lacked access to mental health services during the pandemic. Digital media emerged as the primary source of health information, complemented by radio in low-connectivity areas, and 97.8% of respondents found the information received useful. Recommendations include strengthening culturally and gender-sensitive CEA strategies, addressing rumors through social listening, improving feedback mechanisms, and scaling up digital and non-digital communication to build trust in vaccination and support mental health and livelihoods.
